| FEBRUARY 5, 1919 Aeronautical Engineering (Supplement to THE AEROPLANE) 58N London to Paris by Air— LONDON “AIRCO” Machines provide the link between Britain and the Peace Conference. Striking testimony to the reliability of “Airco” aeroplanes is afforded by the fact that The Aircraft Manufacturing Co. have recently supplied a series of specially designed machines for the exclusive use of Ministers, Delegates, and Officials between London and the Peace Conference. The selection of “Airco” machines for this important and responsible work testifies to the high confidence reposed in them by the Government. These machines are a modification of the well-known “D.H.” or “Airco 4,” designed by Captain Geoffrey de Havilland, Technical Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and are fitted with a luxuriously-appointed cabin in which two passengers can be accommodated. We shall be glad to discuss with Colonial Governments, firms, or individuals any proposition for the use of aircraft in aerial transport arrangements. THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.
